THAT-- LIKE, I USED TO HEAR PEOPLE SPEAK IN THE 60s.
I WAS AROUND EYE COULD HEAR STOKEY CARMICHAEL AND RAP BROWN.
I HEARD PEOPLE TALK.
AND IT WAS THE FIRST SPEECH THEY HEARD IN A VERY LONG TIME OF

SOME OF THEM ROW YOU THIS WAY, AND SOME OF THEM LAY BACK AND
ROW YOU THIS WAY.

YOUR RIDE TO WORK THROUGH CAVES?
>> THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR A WHILE.
THEY KNOW THE ROUTE.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE GOING TO WORK HERE IN NEW YORK.
THERE ARE PEOPLE GOING THE OTHER WAY.
THERE ARE PEOPLE LIVING IN THE JUNGLE THE OTHER WAY AND THEY'RE
SAYING, "GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING."
IT'S LIKE A REGULAR COMMUTE FOR A BUNCH OF PEOPLE.
